Emperor-King Albert and Empress-Queen Elizabeth set to visit Beiteynu.
The Orange Palace and the Palace of Moreshet announced in a joint statement that the imperial couple would tour all of Beiteynu during a year - meaning that for the first time in history since the 43rd Century - the Luthorian monarch would not reside in Luthori but rather live in another realm.
19th, November 5478
Fort William, Principality of Orange, Luthori - The visit from His Majesty into his other realms would have been something that would have been bizzare to propose when Beiteynu was at war - today it seems that with Prince George coming of age in 5478, the Regency Act could be invoked if - and only if - the monarch see it fits - with his heir assuming most of his duties as the monarch. This is a "gamechanger" as now the Orange Palace has announed that both monarchs - the King-Emperor and the Queen-Empress would go on a tour of their realms during the year. The realm in question is Beiteynu, the Homeland State of Beiteynu - as its official name says. Beiteynu is the "newest" addition to the Luthorian monarch's realm and one of its most controversial one. As Monarch of the Yeudi Homeland, the Meleh (King in Yeudi language) is the Defender (Y: Magen) of the Yeudi People and of the Holy Land. Many people saw this as an obligation for Luthori to enter any war where Beiteynu was attacked - as they are the defender. Yet as we all know, Beiteynu came to war with the United Kingdom of Lourenne and its Union of Canrille - and promptly lost the war against the better Lourennais navy - even seeing most of the Yeudish fleet's aircraft carriers being sunk off by the Royal Navy and the - unpromptly - intervention from the Kundratijan Navy - which also caused a Luthorian utilmatum to be sent to the Kundratijan Embassy to Fort William - and the total collapse of Kundrati's power - in the medium term. But, things didn't go as how many people thought the war would go - become a world war - Luthori's played the "Great Game", under Prime Minister Derby, msotly searching a good balance between neutrality and mostly showing off muscles when needed. This came to light when Luthori sent an ultimatum to Kundrati - for their action against Beiteynu. While Luthori didn't declared war (Kundrati backed down), Luthori mostly was "resented" in Beiteynu for not coming off at their ally's defence.
And that's where the imperial couple comes in. As Luthori's reputation in Beiteynu is quite bad recently, the Imperial Couple will go there to repair, not only Luthori's reputation in Beiteynu, but also the monarchy's institution reputation, as many are now accusing the monarch of having not respected his oath of defending the Yeudi people while they were at war. While His Majesty never abdicated the Throne of Yishelem or never showed sign of doing so, this is likely to be a problem for him when he comes out of the plane to live in the Palace of Moreshet during the next year. But still the Monarch's popularity in Beiteynu remains high, as at least 67% of the population have a good opinion of the Meleh of Beiteynu. The Meleh's presence in Beiteynu may also make the monarchy less of a "unrelated" institution in Beiteynu, as compared during the Gabrielian Era or Ishmaelian Era. For both of his predecessors, the Emperor would give a speech in the Knesset (if the Palace of Moreshet confirms it) giving an eulogy to his predecessors, especially to the late Elias Ishmael IV.
